  # @note The accuracy of unit conversions depends on the precision of the conversion factor.
  #   If you have more accurate estimates for particular conversion factors, please send them
  #   to me and I will incorporate them into the next release.  It is also incumbent on the end-user
  #   to ensure that the accuracy of any conversions is sufficient for their intended application.
  #
  # While there are a large number of unit specified in the base package,
  # there are also a large number of units that are not included.
  # This package covers nearly all SI, Imperial, and units commonly used
  # in the United States. If your favorite units are not listed here, file an issue on GitHub.
  #
  # To add or override a unit definition, add a code block like this..
  # @example Define a new unit
  #  RubyUnits::Unit.define("foobar") do |unit|
  #    unit.aliases    = %w{foo fb foo-bar}
  #    unit.definition = RubyUnits::Unit.new("1 baz")
